Limerick East): The North-Eastern Health Board inform me that they have no plans at present for the provision of a home for the elderly in Kells, County Meath.
The North-Eastern Health Board have written to the Meath CARE Committee outlining current developments in services for the elderly throughout the region. The board has also told the committee that they would welcome any proposals from Meath CARE for the services in the Kells area.
